\ wool Offering, and the demand is ais
light. Holders could sell choice X
Ohio, If willing to accept prices curren
facturers have have more freely offered
Holders ask 44c for the strictly good lots
There is no demand for No. / woods
and they are slightly weaker. Severa
good lots have been offered from Phila
delphia at a decline of 1c on the asking
prices of two weeks ago
In the territories not much has has We
been done, and the condition of eastern
markets with their large stocks operates
| against free purchases. What wool ha:
been sold in Utah has brought 1Sm2Oc
| which is too high Here territory woods
are slow and almost neglected.
Extra pulled woods are acctnnulating
|'and some pressure to sell is noticeable
but concessions made have not been suf-
ficient to induce sales. In B supers some
| transactions have sbeen completed during
| the week, but there has been no new de
| mand and the prices remain firm. A SUI
pers are dull and easy There is very lit
| tie decline here in stock, and what there
is is firmly held Medium woods are
steady. NoHhosiery manufacturers have
been in the market, but they have bought
rather freely
| We hear of additional orders sent out to
| England for combing wools. It is about
| time for new woods to be coming in over
there. There has been decline of nearly
| Id in English combing woods since Janu-
| airy 1.
The treasury department has decided
| that where different classes of wools are
imported in the same package, no neces-
| sity exists for an actual asserting Of such
| classes unless a correct classification of
the different classes cannot be determined
except by separation and assortment of
each class Where the correct classifica-
ton and determination of the quantity of
| each class can be readily had without ac-
tual asserting, no objection is perceived to
adopting that course.
Rim waste is quite dull on the other
side and is freely offered at 22@23c, and
the demand for noils, tops and yarns is
light Garnetted waste is also easier The
proposition to have wool tops classified as
smanufacture of wool is sound enough,
no doubt but if wool tops should have to
pay a duty of 60cf2 to and yarns remain as
as now, would that be fair? Surely yarns
should pay higher duty than tops.
A protest petition was being circulated
among the wool houses to-day protesting
against the freight elassifcations on wool
made by roads east of the Mississippi as
first class, when the roads west of the
Mississippi classify it in the second class
They want the same classification in the
second-class on all roads, and they also de-
mand that wool shipped in carload lots of
s3a,0oofbs or ever should be rated as third
class freight.
Adviees from Buenos Ayres by mail
state that the bulk of the wool clip has
gone forward, and little remains to be
shipped. The majority of wool dealers
maintain that this seasons clip will show
a deficit of from 10000 to 10000 bales, |
compared with the last clip. A few main
tain that this season will show slight
surplus. Sheep farmers cannot complain |
of the season, since they have moved off
the wool at very high prices, at least 20
per cent above the prices paid last clip.
The French buyers continue. to pay high /
prices for fine woods, but the market IN
general shows a heavy depression, and
there is little doing Arrivals from the |
rural districts have fallen off considerably, /
and the few thousand bales that remain
will be shipped before the end Of the
next month.
